And the hits just keep on coming.
The end of the year makes people take stock of what they’ve done and who they’ve helped (or hurt) in the year that has passed.
I’m no different in that respect.
However, where I am a little different from some others is that I take stock of the future, rather than the past.
There are all kinds of opportunities available if you’re not bound by your past. If, instead of looking at the past constantly, seeking reassurance, righteous judgment, or even retribution upon thiose4 who have injured you, you instead focus on de4veloping talents skills and abilities to meet the rising road ahead of you.
Many people are bound by the past. And I’m a big fan of history.
This year, in this space, I have used this platform to talk about the past and to encourage and spur my audience on toward the future. The future is, in many ways, an even scarier place than the past, because it seems as though here is no map to get there.
And the hits just keep on coming.
My take on 2016 is that, for many of us, it will be more of the same: The same arguments, the same disagreements, the same fights, the same confrontations. Because too many of us focus too hard on the past and not hard enough on the future.
And I will keep documenting my changes, as I try different things and different methods, hopefully leading to different (but not necessarily always better) outcomes for both myself and the people around me.
More introspection.
More self-awareness.
More HITs.
